As the Senate completes its work on the $410 Billion Dollar Omnibus Bill with over 8,000 earmarked projects, it is important to note who the biggest porkers in the Senate are. The list below shows top 20 Senate Omnibus Bill Porkers.
Right on top is Senator Robert Byrd, who when the bill was originally written was chairman of the Appropriations Committee. Other large porkers are Dianne Feinstein of California and Tom Harkin of Iowa. What is particularly disturbing is that 8 of the Top 20 were Republicans, and that Mitch McConnell was so high up on the list. Come on folks, if we are going to rally people around conservative principals, we need to practice what we preach. More Below:

Disgusting.
Earmarks = Vote for me and I will bring home the Pork.
Republicans from the list above..listen up...where do you think this money comes from? Increase spending and you will have to increase TAXES. Consider yourselves Democrats. You are all a BIG DISGRACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EARMARKS are a dirty dishonest way to BUY votes. Stealing from all the taxpayers to BUY votes in your state. We obviously care more than you do about the fiscal health of our country and the value of our dollar.
You need to discontinue these earmarks or get out of office.

Sarah Palin would be excellent at tying mooses...ohhhhh, you meant....never mind...
